Loaded – Ballona Orca – Cruiser Skateboard Deck

BUILD YOUR OWN POD.

The Ballona deck, ready for whatever trucks and wheels your imagination (and parts bin) can throw at it.

IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU IF…

You already have a vision: TKP or RKP, big wheels or small, and a drawer of parts waiting for the right deck.
You want the Ballona’s meticulously sculpted curvatures and tuned steering geometry as the foundation for a custom build.
You like that two wheelbase options mean one deck can become two very different boards.

Length: 27.75″ / 70.5 cm
Width: 9″ / 22.9 cm
Wheelbase: 14.75-16″ / 37.5-40.6 cm
Profile: rocker
Weight (deck only): 2.6 lb / 1.2 kg

CURVACEOUS CONFIDENCE – Subtle rocker in the standing platform transitions into the unique “Whale Belly” spoon concave in the nose, which locks in the front foot and allows for a secure stance behind or on top of the truck. This also wedges the front truck for dramatically enhanced agility, resulting in a slalom-style steering bias that allows the more stable rear end to track the more nimble front end. The Ballona’s mild concave and generous width ensure a comfortable stance and plenty of leverage and control. A short, wide tail and minimal nose provide optimal maneuverability and leverage for slides and tricks in a compact package.

VERSATILE VARIATIONS – The Ballona includes two wheelbase options for a range of performance characteristics. The outer (16”) wheelbase is designed for reverse-kingpin trucks and/or more stability, while the inner (14.75”) wheelbase is intended for traditional-kingpin (street) trucks and/or more maneuverability. The two deck graphics are offered in uniquely curated complete setups; choose Moby to slash every driveway in sight or Willy for a premium carving and pumping machine.

MANEUVERABLE & COMPACT – The Ballona’s mild concave and generous width ensure a comfortable stance and plenty of leverage and control. A short, wide tail and minimal nose provide optimal maneuverability and leverage for slides and tricks in a compact package.

POCKET-SIZED POTENTIAL – At 27.75″ long and 2.6 pounds, the Ballona stashes under desks, in lockers, and behind car seats. Build it burly or build it featherweight; either way, it’s the board you’ll actually have with you.

CLASSIC LAYUP WITH A TWIST – Custom 7-ply maple construction with thicker cross veneers for optimal stiffness, crisp pop, and a smooth ride.
